Board Trustee, Philanthropy

The Company is seeking a Board Trustee specializing in philanthropy to contribute to its governance and strategic leadership. The Trustee will help shape approaches to strategic philanthropy, partnerships, and growth, identify opportunities to diversify income, and advise on relationships with the greatest potential to advance the organization’s mission. The role includes using professional networks to make introductions, open doors, and support promising partnerships, while working alongside fellow Trustees and senior leaders. This is a strategic position rather than an operational fundraising role, with contributions extending beyond formal Board meetings. There is no single required professional background, but candidates should bring strong strategic and commercial judgment and the ability to identify opportunities beyond conventional fundraising. Relevant experience may include healthcare, life sciences, commercial leadership, strategic philanthropy, investment, revenue generation, or developing corporate partnerships. Applicants should have a strong understanding of how relationships can create financial and broader strategic value, along with well-developed networks and relationship-building skills. A willingness to use their influence and contribute their expertise to the organization’s goals is essential.
